Record Store Pillows
Description: Paradise Records is a fictional record store located in the high-desert city of Bend, in Central Oregon, that is the primary location in the 2025 slacker film of the same name. The movie focuses on Cooper, a well-meaning record store owner who is trying to keep the doors of his beloved record store open. He’s facing foreclosure, the bank won’t give him a loan, someone keeps offering to buy the property — and then there's the robbery and hostage situation. All told, he’s really not having a great day. Thankfully, he’s got his employees and a lot of weed to help him work through things.

Happoldt met Nowell shortly thereafter, who insisted on having Sublime backed by the nascent label. Happoldt was selective in choosing other acts, which later included Slightly Stoopid, Juice Bros, Philieano, Toko Tasi, and Paulie Nugent.

Description: When I was in highschool in the mid-'80s and starting to delve into alternative culture, I kept hearing about this place called Cellophane Square in the University District. It was supposed to have punk and goth band t-shirts, records and tapes, all kinds of underground merchandise and was where you'd buy tickets to punk shows. Having grown up on the Eastside, hanging out at Bellevue Square as a kid, I pictured Cellophane Square as a punk rock mall. Imagine my surprise when I finally turned 16 and could drive to Seattle and found out Cellophane Square was a tiny, packed record store just off the Ave on 42nd (now the home of a Taco Del Mar).
